I just obtained this list last night. Please help me update it. Thanks.

Many people do not realize that Amateur Radio operators (hams) will relay messages for free. Please understand that the messages are brief and will not be chatty and full of details, they’re all relayed into and out of a disaster area, so brevity and accuracy is imperative. Check with www.arrl.org for further information on this, under the National Traffic System.
